Roboflow | Solutions Architects, Implementation Engineer, Developer Advocate, Full Stack Engineers | Full-time (Remote, SF, NYC) | https://roboflow.com/careers?ref=whoishiring0725

Roboflow is the fastest way to use computer vision in production. We help developers give their software the sense of sight. Our end-to-end platform [1] provides tooling for image collection, annotation, dataset exploration and curation, training, and deployment.

Over 1 million engineers (including engineers from 2/3 Fortune 100 companies) build with Roboflow. We now host the largest collection of open source computer vision datasets and pre-trained models [2]. We are pushing forward the CV ecosystem with open source projects like RF-DETR [3] and Supervision [4]. And we've built one of the most comprehensive resources for software engineers to learn to use computer vision with our popular blog [5] and YouTube channel [6].

We have several openings available but are primarily looking for strong technical generalists who want to help us democratize computer vision and like to wear many hats and have an outsized impact. Our engineering culture is built on a foundation of autonomy & we don't consider an engineer fully ramped until they can "choose their own loss function". At Roboflow, engineers aren't just responsible for building things but also for helping us figure out what we should build next. We're builders & problem solvers; not just coders. (For this reason we also especially love hiring past and future founders.)

We're currently hiring for full-stack engineers to help build our product, field engineers that work directly with our customers to solve their business needs with computer vision, and several technical roles on the sales team.

We raised our Series B round at the end of last year, led by GV. With this round, we will continue building the open source tools, platform, and community so developers and enterprises can deploy computer vision applications to production. [7]

Show HN: Vision AI Checkup, an Optometrist for VLMs

Evaluating visual capabilities of language models is hard.On the one end of the evaluation spectrum, we have vibe checks which, while useful for building intuition, are time-consuming to run across a dozen or more models. On the other end, we have large benchmarks which are so large that they are intractable to most users.Vision AI Checkup is a new tool for evaluating VLMs. The site is made up...

Show HN: RF-DETR, SOTA Real-Time Object Detection Model

https://github.com/roboflow/rf-detr

The Roboflow ML team has been actively working on RF-DETR, a real-time, transformer-based object detection model architecture. The model architecture is now public and open source (Apache 2.0).RF-DETR-large is the first real-time model to exceed 60 AP on the Microsoft COCO benchmark [1] and achieve strong speeds compared to other models at the base size. On an NVIDIA T4 GPU, RF-DETR-Base...

Re:Show HN: Artemis, a Calm Web Reader on Saturday December 21, 2024 @05:20PM (#42482796)
Hello there! Did you receive an error with your RSS feed (https://rishikeshs.com/index.xml) or the JSON feed (https://rishikeshs.com/index.json)?

I am able to successfully poll the RSS feed, but the JSON one is returning an error. Only JSON Feeds that conform to https://www.jsonfeed.org/version/1.1/ are parsable by the software.

Re:Show HN: Artemis, a Calm Web Reader on Saturday December 21, 2024 @01:57PM (#42481460)
Thank you so much!

This project actually started off as a GitHub Action to trigger a daily sync, with a Python script that polled pages and saved the results. A static site generator then built the site using the data from the polling process.

I love the design of your page!

Re:Show HN: Artemis, a Calm Web Reader on Friday December 20, 2024 @05:50PM (#42475896)
Good question. I haven't found this to be an issue yet, perhaps because of the infrequency with which resources are accessed.

With that said, I can't guarantee this is not an issue. There are a few feeds that return errors that I need to investigate.

Re:Show HN: Artemis, a Calm Web Reader on Friday December 20, 2024 @03:04PM (#42474474)
Nice!

P.S. I love the colour choices and the colour stripe interactions on your website. So cool!
